Like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dear Readers,

The month of July takes us to the heart of summer. It asks us to balance ourselves between passion and logic, heart and soul. Balancing the heat of the Sun, as well as the passion that takes place in our own hearts. A good month to rejoice after Mars retrograded for 3 months. Now as we relax, we take it all in.

July 4 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA. Independence day New Moon Cancer – One of my favorite times of the year — the Summer Solstice! This is the New Moon of the year that is absolutely gorgeous and exuberant with LIFE. This New Moon marking the Summer Solstice is occurring at the crucial first degree of a sign so we are being asked to take some action! That particular action is to be kind to ourselves and protect ourselves (do not read that as over-protect!!) by being LOVING and KIND to ourselves. We are also to extend it to others. We are to do this actively by surrounding ourselves with loving people and situations.

This Sun/Moon conjunction in Cancer is in exact opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn exactly opposes this Cancer New Moon and will be happy to introduce us to all of our shortcomings, especially in how we are managing our lives and resources. A good week to set time aside as to get yourself back on track if need be.

July 19 Full Moon in Capricorn –
Wisdom at its best.

On this day emotions may flare, however they may appear to be more self contained as the Full Moon in Capricorn is all about structure and maintaining a level of control.

Emotionally, however, during this time we have been doing a lot of purging, eliminating things, or even people from our lives that no longer serve out higher good. A lot of self awareness, and self-exploration. More than likely, we have come to realize what we need, and what we want and the differences behind the meaning. A sense of clarity emerges during this cycle. It is like a beacon of light shining in to our darkest place, our shadow, and turning the lights back on. .

Mars, the planet of drive & motivation – now direct.

Mars now direct in Scorpio – moving back into Sagittarius – When Mars moves direct it assumes all control, pushing all boundaries, fearless, fiery and full of motivation and mischief. As Mars continues in a direct motion, it expresses itself through freedom, seeking out, spiritual and philosophical pursuits.

Venus in Cancer until July 12 moves into romantic Leo –

While Venus is in Cancer – focus is primarily on security, family, and nesting. However Venus in Cancer can be passionate in a more sedate fashion, often expressing its love through food, or comfort. In addition, Venus in Cancer expresses love comes in a form of sensitivity and privacy. Public displays of affection are often unheard of. Also, it’s transit in Cancer opposite Pluto cannot be easy as it brings to light much needed changes that may occur around us. Those born under Cancer, Aries and Libra are most affected.

However on the flip side, as as Venus, the Love Goddess sashays into Leo on July 12 -watch for dramatic breakups not to mention grandiose hook-ups, or sudden unexpected love affairs to surface. Venus in Leo is bold and beautiful, loud in attitude and the desire to thrill seek is strong during this transit. So gambling, chance-taking, quickie love affair are all indicators. Although where Venus falls in to your chart will be the determining factor. This based on your time of birth.

Mercury moves in Leo on July 13 conjunct transiting Venus in Leo –

The mind as well as the body and spirit may be willing. With Mercury conjunct Venus in transit, and Saturn in Sagittarius you have a nice little setup here for being creative, romantic and totally expressive in an out-of-the-box situation. Fire sign drama is well indicated as communication can get very heated. Signaling a time to speak from the heart and make yourself heard loud and clear.
Leo is one of the most entertaining and high-impact zodiac signs, so we can expect a lot of humor, laughter and bold statements, but also a few temper tantrums and some drama during this time.

As the Sun moves into Cancer, sign of emotion, family, and self-love. It’s time to follow our hearts, solidify our center, and live fully from a place of nourishment. The shadow is hiding, over-emotionalizing situations, regression, and neediness. It’s the season to get back in touch with who we really are on the inside.

The Sun in Cancer natives have a strong survival instinct. They are protective of those they care about, as well as of themselves. They are often hesitant about airing their laundry with the rest of the world, and are often caught up in sentiment.

Cancers have a reputation for being moody, and overly sensitive, although this aspect is most evident when the Moon is in Cancer. Cancer needs a foundation. They resist change to an extent, and concern themselves about being secure and safe in most everything they do.

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS –
“It’s all about the mind set”

This weeks 2nd Full Moon in Sagittarius, ( last one was May 21, 2016) on June 20 2016 fires up our mind with creative thoughts. However, its conjunction to transiting Mars in retrograde may be too much activity as we feel ourselves being over run by way too much stimuli, both mental and physical.

*Fire energy can be dangerous as well as beautiful, it’s all about working with the energies at hand as Fire energy can be destructive as well as constructive, as it can fuel our aggression or our optimism. It’s a choice on our part.

Cancer – The Sun transiting in your own sign places you in the limelight. This is the week where you begin a mission of creating some much needed closure in your life. Time to put the past to rest.

This Months 2nd Full Moon in Sagittarius, ( last one was May 21, 2016) on June 20 2016 fires up our emotions with creative energy. However, its influence to transiting Mars in retrograde may be too much activity as we feel ourselves being over run by way too much stimuli, both mental and physical.

Fire energy can be dangerous as well as beautiful, it’s all about working with the energies at hand as Fire energy can be destructive as well as constructive, as it can fuel our aggression or our optimism. It’s a choice on our part.

A FULL MOON will begin its influence at least a week before. Therefore expect this week to be frenzied. Stay neutral, try not to overreact.

SIGNS:

Aries – In your head as usual and thinking out loud as the forthcoming Full Moon will once again occupy your area of higher thinking. Once again you find yourself a bit more reflective than usual, more in sync to what is taking place inwardly as opposed to outwardly. A good week to sort out your thoughts, while taking time to reset yourself. .

Taurus – Time to get yourself back on track financially. Not a good time to take a risk, and not to let yourself get sidetracked by opportunities that may not pan out. Keep it steady and real this week. Also, maybe focus on the next three weeks as the Full Moon wanes down and the retrograde eases up.

Gemini – As with most Gemini’s, patience is not your thing. However,having a relationship is. Therefore this week as the Full Moon gets closer you would do well to dial it down when “handling” others, specifically speaking your personal partner. Pay closer attention to signals that may detonate.

Cancer – Be watchful and extra alert when dealing with your health. This week as the Full Moon approaches you may feel more anxious than ever. Time to step back and think before reacting. Also, as with most Cancers you wear your emotions on your sleeve. Know that others may read you loud and clear, granted it has been a stressful few months, however take heed in giving off too much anxiety.

Leo – Though you are a chance-taker at heart, always looking for the next angle, and pretty lucky at that, this cycle with the oncoming Full Moon may trigger impulse control issues. You may see yourself a bit over zealous when playing with your resources. Therefore, take a step back, think before you do anything hasty. Also, matters of the heart are totally unpredictable. Between the Full Moon and Mars in retrograde, you’re better off to go solo for a while.

Virgo – A perfectionist at heart, always trying to do it well without hesitation. However this weeks nearing Full Moon triggers issues relating to the home front. Questions may arise about selling or buying. In addition, family matters that you thought had been put to rest suddenly resurface without a clue. Understandably your first reaction is to shut down, however you’re better off to face the consequences, otherwise you’ll be doing it all over again coming up in Jan 2017.

Libra – It’s not just about what you say, it’s all about how it is delivered. This weeks approaching Full Moon in your area of talk may trigger unexpected words. You may discover yourself to be a bit more assertive than you thought. Also, not the best time for a short term travel trip. Better to hold off until after June 28 when Mercury goes direct.

Scorpio – As cautious as you are about money, as safe as you can be about your possessions, this week as the impending Full Moon’s occurrence in your money house could trigger a shift in how you react. It’s important to take stock of every given situation before making any huge investments.

Sagittarius – This weeks anticipated Full Moon in your own sign merely places the limelight on you. It’s all about your tendency to focus in and get the job down while maintaining a certain stance. Also partnerships in opposition may feel the affects as you strive to include them.

Capricorn – This weeks awaited Full Moon sheds light on issues and matters that need our resolve. It’s all about the subconscious and what we carry with us.Time to clear our the debris, take stock in allowing yourself to finally let go of negative patterns.

Aquarius – This weeks Full Moon may trigger unexpected responses as you see yourself less tolerant, and more assertive with your everyday approach. As with most Aquarians it’s all about friends, and group connections. The pleaser of the zodiac, their slightest whim is your command. However independent to a fault, yet always obliging. .

Pisces – Crazy week as the Full Moon affects us one week or more ahead of schedule. As it approaches your area of work, you may to overreact to annoyances and situations that call for your immediate attention. Better to play it out casually as opposed to playing their game. Otherwise you are spinning out of control.
